Chapter 15: The Moon Feast
Xixiang, Xiangjun's Mansion, in a certain wing.
An old man was sitting in the chair of the Grand Master working on the text. Get! At a glance, you can tell that this Taishi chair was brought by a certain traverser. Although the old man's hair is a little gray, the old man's face is ruddy and there are fewer wrinkles. Apparently well maintained.
After a while, the old man seemed to have finished processing the text, stretched his waist, and leaned back on the Taishi's chair. The Taishi chair was covered with the fur of an unknown animal, but it was soft and comfortable.
There was a slight knock on the door.
"Come in," the old man seemed a little tired, and said casually.
The door was gently pushed open, and in came a girl with bright teeth and bright eyes, fresh and refined, about double eight years old, no, young woman. Because her hair is coiled up, she is obviously married. The young woman was dressed in a red hanfu and looked very cute and charming. It's just that the body is a little thin, like a bean sprout. The young woman was followed by two little girls of twelve or thirteen years old. It should be her maid.
The young woman in red called out softly, "My lord", and the voice of the young woman in red was very good, like an orchid in the hollow valley, which made people feel more comfortable.
The old man had already noticed the young woman in red, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Greetings to Madame".
"My lord, why should it be like this between father and daughter." The young woman in red hurriedly helped her.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished," the old man said stubbornly.
The young woman in red couldn't help it, after all, she knew the old man best in this world, and she knew how stubborn her father was.
"Madame, what's the important matter when you're here?" asked the old man respectfully.
"My lord, the moon banquet is ready, and the monarchs are already in place, just waiting for you to get old," said the young woman in red.
"Look at my memory, I'm still waiting for the minister over there, and the minister retired first"
The old man saluted the young woman in red and hurried away.
"What a workaholic!" The young woman in red said helplessly.
"Count the days, it's time for the husband to come back!" The young woman in red then muttered.
……
Xixiang, Xiangjun's Mansion, Juyi Hall.
"Moon Banquet" was invented and created by the traverser Liu Ye based on the old moon meeting in the company. Those who can participate in the monthly banquet are generally the high-level officials of the entire Saigo. The monthly banquet is not only held to win over the relationship with various high-level executives. At the same time, it also has the function of reporting on the work of the month and discussing important matters.
Saigo practiced a parallel system of military soldiers and tuntian soldiers. The town was not only a military unit of the tuntian, but also an administrative unit, and a town could contain several villages at the same time. The military governor is the Tuntian Sima, and the chief executive is the Tuntian envoy. The basic administrative unit of a town is the gang, and a village is generally composed of several to a dozen gangs. A family of thirteen households. One ding per household. Therefore, there are thirteen people in Tuntian's group, including two captains and one captain. There were about twenty or so gangs in each town. Tun Tian Gong usually ploughs when he is busy, and only takes turns training when the farm is not working. During the war, the Tuntian Sima would transfer some of the Tuntian soldiers to form a town according to the actual situation (unless they fought nearby, they would generally only select about one-third of the gangs). However, the rest of the guys will provide food and grass, but usually not too much. (Tuntian pawns are generally only available in wartime.) For example, in the stone fort, although there are two towns and a long number of archers, if there are only two tun soldiers and a long team of archers stationed in the stone fort in peacetime. Only in wartime would Sima from nearby Tuntian gather men. )
Now, according to the actual situation, Saigo's forces are mainly divided into three parts. The stone fort was stationed with two tun warriors, two town tuntian pawns, and a long team of archers. To the west of Xixiang, near the mountain, there are two tun warriors and two towns and two towns to prepare for the "three thieves". However, there is something special about the Tuntian pawns in these two towns. Because of the intrusion of the "three thieves", the tuntian pawns here are trained to be stronger than others, and each village generally maintains a certain structure, as compensation for the tuntian pawns here pay less taxes than other tuntian pawns. Finally, there is the area centered on Saigo (Saigo's township, which is a small town). There are stationed the four towns of Tuntian soldiers, four tun warriors, white-robed guards, longbow troops, and light cavalry troops. There are more than 20 villages densely packed around Saigo-ri. It is the real essence of the whole Saigo.
Due to their different responsibilities, many officials often do not meet each other, and there will be large and small contradictions between various tun towns and departments. Another function of the monthly banquet is to resolve disputes between various departments. In the end, it is generally decided by the sovereign Liu Ye in charge of arbitration.
The monthly banquet is generally presided over by Liu Ye himself. However, because Liu Ye was not at home, Yang Yang, the chief of administrative affairs, was in charge of presiding. When Yang Yang rushed to the Juyi Hall. Everyone is here.
"Yang Lao Hao" When Yang Yang appeared, everyone immediately stood up and saluted.
"Let you wait for a long time, and the old man will punish himself with three cups later," Yang Yang replied.
After greeting everyone for a while, Yang Yang returned to his seat. As the Chief Administrative Officer, he is seated first in the left row. Next to him is the arbiter (right, civil judge) Fang Zheng, and below him are the chief official (secretary general) Yang Li, as well as the civil officials such as Liu Cao and Tuntian envoys. On the opposite side of Yang Yang is Zuo Sima (Xixiang She, similar to the current chief of staff of the army, mainly focusing on training and temple calculations) Xiahou Wen, and the next is the deputy commander of the white-robed personal guard, and the purple guard armor Mingyue. Right Sima (Xixiang set, similar to the current logistics minister, mainly focusing on logistics) Qin Ming. Below are military attachés such as Tun Chang and Tun Tian Sima.
During the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty and later the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty, the distinction between civil and military officials was not too obvious. Civil officials can pick up knives and slash people. Military attachés can also put pen to paper and take charge of the people. But in Saigo, with the intervention of a certain traverser. Civil and military officials were also quietly separated.
"Where is the star officer," Yang Yang said as he sat on his seat.
"In," the chief Yang Li stood up. In addition to being a chief, he is also a star officer.
"The number of people can be reached".
"Chief Administrator, except for Liu Beibu stationed in Shibao, Chief Liu Tun and Chief Hu Tun in Bingtun in the west who have important responsibilities and cannot leave their posts, the rest have arrived."
"Then let's start debriefing!" Yang Yang nodded and said in satisfaction.
"Whoever pleases first".
"First," a man in his forties stood up. He is the Hocho of Saigo.
"Qi Facao, please speak," Yang Yang said.
"There have been no criminal cases under a certain rule this month. However, in the middle of the month, a major brawl broke out in the East City, and three people have been injured. The main culprit has now been arrested and now brought to trial by the arbitrators".
"East City Brawl? Yang Bu, how did you become the captain of the city management, how could this kind of thing happen in your jurisdiction" Yang Yang was a little hateful.
"Steward, I," said one of the young men sitting at the back of the seat.
"The old man doesn't want to listen to your explanation." Yang Yang said a little angrily.
"The chief official issued an order, and Yang Bu, the captain of the urban management team, was suspected of dereliction of duty. He is now sentenced to 10 days' imprisonment and a fine of three months".
"Ahh Yang Bu exclaimed. For his age, ten days of confinement would be tantamount to his death. But he didn't dare to refute, with what he knew about his father. Once refuted. It is estimated that it will rise to a month.
"Okay, does Qi Facao still need to report on his work?"
"No, sir."
"Then the debriefing continues." Yang Yang Road.
